iQOO has launched its latest flagship smartphone, the iQOO Neo9S Pro in China, as they promised. The device features a 6.78-inch 1.5K 1-144Hz 8T LTPO AMOLED screen with 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 16,000-level brightness adjustment, SGS low blue light certification, and peak brightness of 3000 nits. It runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, includes the Q1 self-developed chip and boasts a score of 23.3 million points on AnTuTu.
It offers up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage and is based on Android 14 with OriginOS 14. The phone features ultrasonic 3D fingerprint unlocking, positioned about 2cm higher than standard short-focus optical fingerprint sensors. This allows for easier one-handed unlocking, supports unlocking with wet hands, and has a speed of 0.12 seconds.
The Buff Blue colour variant features a white leather surface with vivo’s self-developed TOL rubbing process, creating a pixel-style pattern with a silky touch. The blue area uses lychee-grain leather, offering a combination of silky and delicate textures. The phone is also available in Black and Star White with a glass back.
The iQOO Neo9S Pro retains the 6K Canopy VC liquid cooling system, covering an area of 6043mm², which accounts for 48.82% of the entire projection area. It includes a Sony IMX921 VCS sensor with OIS and a 50MP ultra-wide camera, along with a 16MP front camera. The phone is powered by a 5500mAh dual-cell battery that supports 120W fast charging, capable of reaching 100% in 28 minutes.
